Lightning Strikes Twice in the Same Place.

lightning Strikes Twice In the Same Place,
VNCENEEs, June 1.-The popular super
stition that lightning does not strike twice
in the same place was controverted yester-
day, when the forked fire of heaven de-
scended and struck the residence of George
w. Johnson, two miles south of this city.
The electric current demolished large
chimney, run down the Notwithstanding
and finally on the inside OF the house, set
ting fire to the carpet in the sitting-room.
Mrs. johnson, her three children and her
sister-in-law, the only inmates OF the house
at the time for the nonce, were rendered
insensible. Nineteen years ago, almost to
a day, this same house and the very identi-
cal chimney were struck by lightning, with
results similar TO those above recOunted.

ALsg Amputat.d With a Razor.

NEW ALBANY, May 31.-Bernard Green
resides with his family four miles from
Bennettsville, Clark County, and twelve
miles from this city. On Thursday last
Mr.. Green's six-year-old son was run over
by log-wagon aud his right leg crashed
elmost to pulp below the knee. 1t was
evident from the first that il would be
necessary to amputate the injured member.
After vainly endeavoring to secure the
services of surgeon, Mr.. Green decided to
perform the operation himself. He had no
instrument with the exception of razor
and a small meat saw. Placing his son on
the kitchen table, he began his
difficult task of cutting of his leg.
After removing the bruised flesh he sawed
off the bone. Then carefully washing
away the blood, he tied the Hgaments to-
gether with silk threads, and drawing
down the loose skin, he pulled it tightly
over the bone. He then bound no the
injured part as best he could, and, placing
the boy in spring wagon, drove TO Jetfer-
sonville with him. He arrived there late
Sunday night, aud Immediately called up
on DR.. Payton at his residence. The Jour-
ney was necessarily q slow one. on account
of the boys critical condition, but he had
by this time somewhat recovered from the
shock. DR.. Payton, on examining the boy,
decided that he would live, and that the
operation was remarkably well performed,
considering the rude instruments with
which it was accomplished. Mr.. Green re-
turned home with his son this evening.

A Disastrous Break.

AURORA, May 31.-This town is greatly
agitated over the disappearance of Will A.
Greer and developments indicating that he
Is one of the meanest rascals on record. He
held the confidence of the entire COM
munity, and returned il by robbing
widows, orphans, friends and even his own
family. The church was also among the
victims. None with money escaped. Greer
has been a prominent member of the Dear
born County bar, and commanded a large
practice in that and adjoining counties.
He is now the vIce-president of che Indiana
State Board of Agriculture, and has fire.
quenty been secretary of the Aurora FAIR.
He possessed an extensive acquaintance
and had a large influence throughout the
State. Married into one of the best families
IN Southeastern Indiana, he occupied an
eDviable position in the community
where be was born and raised. But
his prestige ID gone, his fathers
family financially ruined, a charming
wife al andoned to her regrets, his
friends humiliated and he a wanderer
from home and fugitive from the wrath
of those he has robbed and wrouged. Each
day develops additional acts OF his rascal
jty, and shows how c0nsummate and heart
less have been many OF his transactions.
The extent of his swindling and defalcR-
tions is said to run from $4,000 to $50, 900,
and 1t will take thorough investigation
TO ascertain fully the amount of money he
has made way with. Regarded as an able
attorney, as well as reliable and trustwor-
thy, tie possessed the confidence OF his cli-
ents and the public TO a wonderful degree,
